Hello Keeo!
My name is Mel. I am one of the original founders of Keeo.
I am deeply passionate about working with children and developing trusted relationships with staff and early childhood services. I am committed to building genuine relationships based on integrity, respect, collaboration, and a shared passion for delivering excellence.
I am a VIT registered early childhood teacher, currently practicing at a sessional kindergarten in Melbourne. My teaching experience has been diverse and fulfilling, having taught at Gowrie Victoria and in sessional kindergartens for over 15 years, in both permanent and relief roles.
I view our Keeo staff as collaborators in our goal to provide the best quality early childhood education and care, and I am proud of each Keeo staff member for the individual skills and experience that they bring.
A dynamic management team joins me in ensuring Keeo provides the highest quality and most efficient service, leading to the best outcomes for our casual staff and early childhood services.
Keeo Leadership Team
We are parents, educators and business people, we're the driving force behind Keeo. Our goal is to help enable Keeo to become the agency of choice for both staff and Early Childhood Services around Victoria. We have lofty goals and big ambitions as well as some amazing ideas on how to achieve them!
With Keeo, we never have to worry - whether it's short notice or planned absences, their team ensures continuity of care and learning.
They've become an essential part of our community, helping us create a supportive and enriching environment for the children."

What sets Keeo apart from other agencies we've worked with is the efficient booking system, excellent communication and follow up. Mel is proactive in checking in with us to ensure the relief staff are meeting our needs and expectations. Keeo is a very reliable agency that we trust for our staffing needs.
Highly recommend Keeo!"
- Canterbury and District Pre-School
Since joining up with Keeo we have had the most amazing staff come through to support our team here at Surrey Hills preschool and have not had one person we could not recommend.
We have had a high need for agency staff and Mel and her team have been able to fill the positions every time. Their booking system is easy and very prompt especially when it's those 5:30am sick calls!"
- Surrey Hills Preschool
We know that Keeo have a rigorous selection process and only employ the best Teachers and Educators. As a result, the staff that they provide have been very professional and knowledgeable.
They follow up on customer satisfaction and as a community run kindergarten, we like to support community run small businesses."

The organisations I've worked with through Keeo consistently provide positive feedback, a testament to their commitment to quality. Mel, the Operations Manager, is a visionary leader with hands-on teaching and leadership experience, ensuring services remain relevant and exceptional.
Unlike larger agencies where educators feel like just another number, Keeo prioritises relationships, fostering a supportive and professional environment. Their tailored, people-first approach makes a real difference. For educators seeking a reliable, high-quality staffing agency, Keeo is the gold standard."

All the team at Keeo go above and beyond to best support the staff. The services that align themselves to Keeo are high quality early childhood services.
Thank you to Mel and the team for providing such a high standard of leadership and mentorship to me."
